To the readers Of the Argus:
In common with many publishers and
editors, we have been accustomed to look
upon certain statements which we have
seen in our columns as merely adroit ad
vertising. Consequently We feel justified
in taking the liberty of printing a few
points from private letter recently re-
ceived from one of our largest patrons,
as sort of confession of faith to our
readers. We quote;
I'VE have convinced ourselves that by
telling what We know to be true. we have
produced at last permanent conviction
in the public mind Seven wears ago we
stated what the national disease of this
country was, and that it was rapidly in
creasing. Three years ago we stated
that marked check had been given it.
The statistics of one of the largest
life insurance companies of this country
shows that in 1883 and 1884 the mortality
from kidney disorders did not increase
over the previous years; other companies
stated the same thing. 1t is not presump-
| ton for US to claim credit for checking
these ravages.
Seven years ago We stated that the
condition of the kidneys was the key to
| the condition Of health; within the past
five years all careful life insurance COM
psnies have conceded the truth of this
statement, for, whereas. ten years ago,
chemical analysis to determine the eond>
ton of the kidneys was not required, to>
day millions of dollars in risks are re.
fused, because chemical examination dis
covers unsupported diseases of the kid
neys.
Some years ago We stated that the
ravages OF Bright's disease were insigni-
ficant compared with other unexpected
disorders of the kidneys of many mislead>
ing names; that ninety-three per cent. of
human ailments are attributable to de-
ranged kidneys. which fills the blood
with uric acid, or kidney poison. which
causes these many fatal diseases.
The uric acid. or kidney poison, is the
real cause of the majority of cases of
paralysis, spoplexy. heart disease, con-
WILSON'S, pneumonia. consumption. and
insanity: over half the victims of con
sumption are first the victims of diseased
kidneys.
when the recent death of an honored
ex-oficial of the United States was an
nounced, his physicians said that al
though he was suffering from Brights
disease, that was not the cause of death
He was not frank enough to admit that
the apoplexy which overlook him in his
/ III fafa nj affa ~ fha l;dnau
poison in the blood, which had eaten
away the substance of the arteries and
brain; nor was Logan's physician honest
enough to state that his fatal rheumatism
was caused by kidney acid in the blood.
"If the doctors would state in Official
reports the original cause of death, the
people of this country would be alarmed
yea, nearly panic stricken. at the fearful
mortality from kidney disorders"
The writers of the above letter give
these facts to the public simply to justify
the claims that they have made. that
ii the kidneys and liver are kept in a
healthy condition by the use of Warmers
safe cure, which hundreds of thousands
have proved to be specific, when
all other remedies failed, and that
has received the endorsement of the
highest medical talent in Europe,
Australia and America, many life
would be prolonged and the happi-
ness of the people preserved. 1t is sue
cessful with so many different diseases
because it and it alone. can remove the
uric acid. from the blood through the
kidneys"
Our readers are familiar with the prep
aration named.
Comlnendation thereof has often sp>
| peared in our columns.
We believe it to be one of the best, if
not the best ever manufactured. We
know the proprietors are men of charac-
ter and influence
We are certain they have awakened a
wide spread interest in the public mind
concerning the Importance of the kidneys.
We believe with them that they are the
key to health, and that for their restora-
| ton from disease and maintenance IN
health, there is nothing equal to this
great remedy.
The proprietors say they do not glory
in this universal prevalence of disease,
but having started out with the purpose
of spreading the merits of Warmers safe
cure before the world, because it cured
our senior proprietor, who was given up
by doctors as incurable, we feel it our
duty to state the facts and leave the pub
lie to its own differences. We point to
our claims. and to their public snd uni
versal verificstion with pride, and if the
public does not believe what we sey. we
tell them to ask their friends aud neigh
bors what they think about our prepara>
tons"
As stated above. We most cordially
commend the perusal of this correspond
ence by our readers believing that in
doing so, we are fulfilling asimple public
obligation.
